:rollin
She even said they may not be returning next term. Does that mean she doesn't accept the results?

She is pissed because a lot of Dems in the House, including the Speaker, have blamed the progressive bunch for their losses. Being the spokesperson for the progressive branch she has to defend them even if the ones pointing the finger are right.

Everyone in this thread has mischaracterized what was said. AOC said that the margin of Dems in House seats is smaller than what it was. The Democrats had a net loss in this election. Obviously, they are still in the majority, but this is not what was expected.

A lot of the Democratic machine is upset, but we need to remember that the Democratic ground game was hampered because we took COVID seriously. Conversely, Republicans did not. They were able to hit doors and have rallies unencumbered due to their belief that COVID was the flu.

People underestimate ground games. I know the Macomb Dems sucked. Part of that is because Joe Biden was hiding in the basement for much of the time.

The proportionality of house seats is pretty close to the proportionality of the popular vote for U.S. President. I guess I don't understand why some in the Dem caucus are having a conniption fit.

If AOC wants to know who is to blame for the hemorrhaging of Dem seats in the House, she should stand in front of a mirror.

Nice spin. The reality is that we had a modest red wave everywhere except at the presidential level, due to some real and some perceived deficiencies of the successful, abrasive incumbent president.


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

There's no doubt you did have a wave for the reasons stated.

Given the voter fraud, I don't think you can talk about popular vote. Hillary still maintains more than four years later that the election was stolen from her. She thinks the Democrats didn't cheat enough. She advised Biden to never concede. Trump should never concede either. Trump should keep fighting. It's funny that the Dems would lose 10 house seats and win the election. More evidence of voter fraud.

AOC is a talking head for the Communist Party. What would you expect her to say?


Disagreeing with Communists is NOT an impeachable offense.
